Introduction

Overview

Engineered to be an intelligent power distribution solution, the PE4104G IP Control Box ships with 4 power outlets in an IEC socket configuration. It provides secure, centralized, intelligent, and remote power management of data center IT equipment to minimize the operating cost.

The PE4104G features remote power control function, allowing you to control devices attached to the PDU at the PDU device level from practically any location via a TCP/IP connection. The power sequence design eliminates the risks for a power inrush to guarantee reliable operation and protects the overall system health. With the support for eco DC software, it provides an easy method for managing multiple devices, offering an intuitive and user-friendly Graphical User Interface that allows you to configure a PDU device and reboot the device in case any equipment lock-up occurs. The administrators can switch on/off or set a delay time for each power outlet or individual power outlets group whenever, wherever.

The PE4104G boasts a slim, compact form factor and supports desk mount as well as rack mount, ensuring easy installation in confined spaces. It is a smart power control box tailored for hospitality or retail applications, such as digital signages and video walls, for edge computing devices, including routers, servers and cameras, or for any data center environments where there is no need to keep the servers powered on at all times.

Optional Accessories

Sensors

Sensors are optional accessories. You can use the PE4104G unit without sensors. However, if you want to have complete energy management of an instrumented data center with the use of the PE4104G, you would need to use eco DC software and install sensor to generate a complete energy-efficient data and chart. Higher sensor installation density is helpful to generate more accurate data. A sensor-enabled installation is required to generate a more complete energy-efficient data and chart. Higher sensor installation density is helpful to generate more accurate data. Available sensors are show in the table, below:

Sensor Part Number

Temperature EA1140

Temperature / Humidity EA1240

Differential Pressure / Temperature EA1340

Sensor Management

Sensors can be managed via the PE4104G’s built-in graphical user interface (GUI) or with the eco DC software that can be downloaded from the ATEN website.

Cable Holders

Cable holders are optional accessories. For added safety, use ATEN Lok-UPlug cable holders to secure the cables from your attached devices in place on the eco PDU unit. Use only the ATEN Lok-U-Plug cable holders that have been specifically designed to work with the eco PDU. Using any other kind of cable securing device could be highly dangerous. For more information, see Securing the Cable, page 10.

Rack Mounting

The PE4104G can be mounted vertically on the outside of the rack and a few options are available.

Desktop Mount

If you wish to keep your unit on a desktop, attach the footpads (in the package content) and place the unit on any appropriate level surface that can safely support its weight plug the weight of its attached cables.

Using the Rack Mount Ears

1. Decide where you would rack mount the unit and choose the place you would attach the rack mount ear (Position 1, 2, 3, or 4). As an example, we will choose to attach the mounting ears shown below (position 3).

Installation

To set up your PE4104G installation, refer to the numbered steps in the installation diagram below (the numbers in the diagram correspond to the numbered steps), and do the following:

1. Ground the PE4104G by connecting one end of a grounding wire to the

Grounding Terminal and the other end to a suitable grounded object.

Note: Do not omit this step. Proper grounding helps to prevent damage to

the unit from power surges or static electricity.

2. For each device you want to connect, connect its power cable to any

available outlet on the unit. Optionally, use ATEN Lok-U-Plug cable holders to secure them. See Securing the Cable, page 10.

3. Connect an internet-enabled LAN cable into the unit’s LAN Port.

4. (Optional) If you are to use an environmental sensor in your installation,

connect it to the RJ-11 Sensor Port located on the unit’s front panel.

5. (Optional) If you are to use a door sensor in your installation, connect it to

the Door Sensor Dry-Contact Port located on the unit’s front panel.

6. Use the provided Power Cord to connect the unit’s Power Inlet Socket to

an AC power source.

7. Once you have finished these installation steps, you can turn on the

connected devices.

Securing the Cable

For added safety, use ATEN Lok-U-Plug cable holders to secure the cables from your attached devices in place on the unit. Secure the cable holders using the specially designed holes around the individual power outlets, as shown below:

Note: Lok-U-Plug Cable Holders and their Installation Tools are optional and

sold separately. See Cable Holders, page 4

Note:

 Lok-U-Plug Cable Holders and their Installation Tools are optional and

Note: The following sections of this chapter contain information concerning

Browser operation. For eco DC operation, please refer to the separate eco DC User Manual. The eco DC software and User Manual can be downloaded from the ATEN website.

Browser

The PE4104G can be accessed and controlled via any supported Internet browser from any platform. See First Time Setup, page 12, and the following sections in this chapter, for full details.

eco DC

The eco DC Energy Management Software. eco DC provides you with an easy method for managing multiple devices, offering an intuitive and user-friendly Graphical Interface that allows you to configure a PDU device and monitor power status of the equipment connected to it. eco DC Energy Management Software can be downloaded from the ATEN website, along with a separate eco DC User Manual.

SNMP

The eco PDU supports any 3rd party V3 SNMP Manager Software. SNMP Management Information Database (MIB) files for the eco PDU device can be found on the software.

PE4104G User Manual

First Time Setup

Once the eco PDU installation has been cabled up, the next task the Administrator needs to perform involve configuring the network parameters, changing the default Super Administrator login settings, and adding users.

The way to accomplish this is to log in via web browser.

Note: 1. Since this is the first time you are logging in, use the default

Username: administrator; and the default Password: password. For security purposes we recommend changing them to something unique (see Changing the Administrator Login, page 13).

2. For remote methods of getting logged in to the PDU, see IP Address Determination, page 65.

After you successfully log in, the eco PDU Energy/Connections page appears:

Note: Operation details are discussed in Energy, page 19, in the next chapter.
